  • China's video game industry has had some huge, global hits in the past few years with games like Black Myth: Wukong and Genshin Impact. But we have yet to see equivalent success from games made in India - which has a similarly-sized population of around 1.

The article discusses the potential for India's gaming industry to achieve a breakthrough similar to the anticipated success of "Black Myth: Wukong," a game that has garnered significant attention for its high-quality production and cultural representation. Indian game developers express optimism about the future, highlighting several key factors that could lead to such a moment. These include the growing talent pool, increased investment in the sector, and a shift towards creating original intellectual properties (IP) rather than just outsourcing work.
